Specifying Static File Caching on the Siebel Application Interface

This topic is part of Guidelines for Siebel Web Client Tuning.

Siebel application elements are stored in the browser cache, to improve performance when users log in or access Siebel views.

Note: When measuring performance, take caching into account. For example, performance is better where application elements are retrieved from the browser cache than when the same elements are not cached and must be retrieved from the system.

Browser caching behavior is also subject to Siebel Application Interface settings for static file caching. Appropriate settings allow files that are rarely updated, such as image files, JavaScript files, or style sheet files, to be cached on the browser. Caching static files reduces network utilization and enhances Siebel Web Client response time.
